"There’s a lot of Italian food in Carroll Gardens, and our favorite restaurant for it is Frankies 457. Everything here tastes homemade, it’s simple and reasonably priced, and you might lie awake some nights thinking about the sausage in their orecchiette. The brick-walled space is charming, and there’s a great backyard. Feel free to bring your kids, your parents, or a date—everyone will like it here.
